Researchers from the University of York have used magnetic energy to suppress humans’ ‘threat-response’ functions and dramatically change people’s attitudes to immigration.
Psychologists used magnetic force to safely shut down the region of the brain associated with “threat-response functions” and conducted a series of tests where volunteers were asked questions about their beliefs.

Inventors at Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces have suggested the idea of using laser-generated holography instead of the country’s latest Yars intercontinental ballistic missile systems to disorient potential foes; the laser-generated technology will be unveiled in October at the international exhibition of Russia’s Defense Ministry.
“Large-scale holographic images, identical in their dimensions...

The hi-tech razor is powered by a small laser, cutting through hair without burning them, the inventors say.
As a result, they promise the potentially groundbreaking device will leave no scratches, razor burn, itch, or irritation.
Plus, they say the shave is eco-friendly: two billion razors are reportedly discarded each year in the US only, and the Skarp razor’s cartridge won’t need replacing.
Also,...

People of the future may not worry about losing their phones, because future gadgets would be attached to the body. Human skin will be used as the touch screen. Moreover, one would not need to charge their gadgets at all. The first step in this direction has already been made: German engineers are developing a revolutionary gadget known as iSkin.
The gadget is based on the technology used in robotics...

The world’s largest car manufacturing company, Toyota, has announced an investment of $50 million in joint artificial intelligence research centers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University.
The research will focus on social benefits such as how to make cars safer and how to enhance people’s quality of life through enhanced mobility and robotics, especially among the...

Russia’s first 5G fighter has showed off in full its ultra-maneuverability at an international air show near Moscow. In 2016 the Russian Air Force will get ready to put the first production models of the stealth fighter jet into service.

With a month left before the multirole PAK-FA...

A towering structure rising 20 kilometers into the air with its top in the sky may sound like something out of an Old Testament passage or science fiction novel, but a Canadian space company has proposed just that to cut the costs of space exploration.
Last month Thoth Technology was granted a United States patent for a “space elevator,” which would be more than 20 times taller than the 829-metre-high...

A Google subsidiary has taken a large step, quite literally, in trying to make humanoid robots as realistic as possible. Its creation, an Atlas robot, was able to walk unaided across rough terrain, a vast improvement over recent failures at the Robot Olympics.
If you go out in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise – that would be sound advice for residents around the Boston area....

Don’t be fooled by the sounds of champagne corks popping, there is nothing to celebrate about the newest F-35 stealth warplane whom defense analyst David Axe calls a “second-rate” fighter “seriously outclassed by even older Russian and Chinese jets” let alone cutting edge aircraft.
The Pentagon’s darling has recently received some positive coverage. Defense contractor...

Desperate to preserve its water supply amid a four-year drought, Los Angeles is turning a reservoir into a ball pit. It may not seem like the most scientific approach, but officials say the “shade balls” will protect valuable H2O in the City of Angels.
Bringing new meaning to the term “throwing shade,” authorities claim the black, plastic balls will preserve the Van Normal reservoir’s water...
